I've been telling you about the Special Christmas Wrapping class the last few days but I don't want to overlook the exciting Christmas Ornament Extravaganza class that is going on right now! This is one of the ornaments are making in the class. Isn't it neat?! We are using a lot of fun product for this including the Tags til Christmas stamp set, Jolly Holiday DSP, Cherry Cobbler seam binding, and gold waffle paper. I can't wait to share this with the different members of the class - I know they're going to love it! Keep checking back for more fun and exciting projects we'll be making in Continue reading
Gift Wrapping Christmas Tags
I'm excited to share these Christmas gift tags we'll be making in the Special Christmas Wrapping class! They are so fun with their coordinating pouch for storage! I've seen a bunch of these pouches made before but this is the first time I've sat down to make one of my own. What took me so long?! Here are the fun tags we're going to be making with the Tags til Christmas stamp set for in the pouch. Aren't they fun! The tags that do not have "to: from:" on them have a Whisper White back so the information can be written on the back. Thank you for stopping by. I always love to see your Continue reading

Stampin' Up! Stamping Event Prizes
I'm sorry my posts have been a bit sparse this week! My husband's grandmother passed away Sunday morning so we packed up the kids (3 boys ages 6, 4 and 2) and headed to upstate New York very early Tuesday morning and returned Thursday evening. Needless to say, the trip was very tiring! Believe it or not, I did take a little bit of stamping with me though! I didn't get a lot accomplished but a little. What you see above is what I worked on in New York as well as at PMS Night last night. I am making these little packs of Christmas gift tags for prizes at some of my upcoming events. Are Continue reading
More Top Note Gift Card Holders
I promised you somre more gift card holders that are the same basic style as the one yesterday. This one is super cute with the reindeer! Here's the inside! I think this would be so cute to give to a grandchild or those special nieces and nephews! Here's another option using the Snow Swirled stamp set and "Merry Christmas" from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set. This one uses some retired Designer Paper but it would be easy to substitute another design! And here we go! A little DSP on the inside makes it so incredibly easy! I hope you're enjoyed these easy Gift Card Giving ideas! Continue reading
Top Note Gift Card Holder
This is a really fast Gift Card holder we're making in the Gift Card Giving class. Do you see the Glitter Brad in the upper left corner? Pretty fun! Here's peak at the inside. I saw how someone else made a gift card holder using the top note die and I thought it would be fun for us to make one too! Be sure to check back tomorrow to see how I took this idea and made a few more options! Continue reading
Gift Card Giving Class Tin
I'm excited to show you another of the projects we're making in the Gift Card Giving Class! As soon as I saw these tins offered in the Stampin' Up! Clearance Blitz (which is now over) I knew we needed them! No, they don't come with those snowflakes on them, we're stamping them! You may be able to see the snowflakes a little better in this picture. They're from the Snow Swirled stamp set and we're stamping them on there with White Stazon ink! The nice part about this tin is that we're only putting the ribbon on the lid so you won't have to untie it to put the gift card in or take it Continue reading
Tags Til Christmas Snowman Card
This is one of the cards we made in the Christmas card class Thursday evening. It's nice and simple and yet eye catching. We used the snowman from the Tags til Christmas stamp set along with "Merry Christmas" from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set and snowflakes from the retired Serene Snowflake set. I've been making a lot of green and red Christmas cards lately and it was time for a blue one! This card uses Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and Whisper White. Thank you for taking the time to stop by today! Continue reading
Northern Flurry Christmas Card
I want to give a little sneak peek at one of the cards we will be making tonight in our third Christmas card class! Isn't it lovely? I saw a card similar to this that someone else made and I thought it would be nice to make a similar one. I look forward to seeing several of you tonight! Continue reading
Simple Come to Bethlehem Card
I just love this Christmas Card! I have made this at a couple of my parties this month and we may make it at one of the upcoming Christmas Card classes too. It's so simple and easy and yet so lovely! We used the Come to Bethlehem stamp set along with Deck the Halls DSP, a rhinestone, Very Vanilla cardstock and some Early Espresso cardstock and ribbon. There are still some spots available for the Christmas Card class this Thursday evening! If you are interested in joining us please RSVP to me no later than Tuesday evening so I can plan accordingly. Please note that the November 9th class Continue reading
Jolly Holiday Tree Scrapbook Page
Today I want to share a scrapbook page I've been making for my hostesses at their parties over the last month. I think it's so cute with the fun Jolly Holiday DSP! I used stamps from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set along with the Swirls Scribbles and Scallop #2 Big Shot dies, Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Basic Pearls, the Scallop Edge Punch and Circle Scissor Plus. That sounds like a lot of supplies for a 12x12 scrapbook page but it is really fast to make and a lovely layout for either a scrapbook page or framed art on the wall. I have another busy week coming up with a Christmas Card class, Continue reading
Timed Stamping Challenge
Today for the timed challenge we have a color challenge. The team has changed the amount of time for cards to 15 minutes instead of 10 like it used to be. In reality though, as I sat down to make this card I knew I only had 10 minutes in my day to get it done, just too busy I guess! The challenge was to use Poppy Parade, however, the only thing I have in Poppy Parade is the Stampin' Write marker. Sorry, my imagination isn't quite that good! I decided to change it to Cherry Cobbler (surprised?) along with the Early Espresso and Very Vanilla. Let's see what I can do! The first order Continue reading
